Calculates the population variance of the values in a data set created from a condition.
Syntax:
DVARP( range, condition )
Returns the population variance of all the values in the range for which the corresponding condition is satisfied.
Formula:
DVARP, σ² = ( n⋅i ∑1n (xi2) − (i ∑1n xi)2 ) ∕ n2
where n is the number of selected values and xi is the i‑th value from the selection.
Example:
DVARP(A1:A15, B1:B15>0)
returns the population variance of the cells in the range A1:A15
whose equivalents in the range B1:B15
are greater than zero.
See <DAVG for more examples of how to use the condition to control which cells are included.
